Every now and again you have a moment during your meditation that you remember for a long time, even if you are trying to practice non-attachment!
I sat down on our carpet in the living room, facing the windows that look over the skyline of downtown. I closed my eyes, and settled relatively quickly into my meditation. As I followed my breath, I felt a very deep sense of calm and quiet come over me, throughout my entire body. I entered a deeper realm of myself that I’ve never experienced before - I was aware of it, but not overly so to sacrifice my concentration.
It was unusual, dark, and deep. There was no rushing to complete the meditation, I felt comfortable staying exactly where I was. And then the strangest thing happened.
There was a voice that started saying things about my life. I felt as though I had no control over what it was saying, and the words were coming out spontaneously, and slowly, and without thought on my part. The voice was ahead of me and my thoughts. I feel that It was my quiet voice, the one I seek to tune into that speaks truth. It was reassuring and freakishly calm. But I continued to listen until it was finished what it was saying. I was saying.
I came out of my meditation and went to bed. I had nightmares for the majority of the evening. Always expect the unexpected.
And yet this experience is nothing special. It was simply just one of the limitless possibilities we have to experience here in our universe.
And I will have to let this experience go. My next meditation could be different, or the same. And others may have this experience, or may not. That is the way it is.
